      it's motor oil, and it's from somewhere directly under the block.

            well if it has never leaked. then it should be clean. so, best way its to look it from top and bottom.

              That just means that you never need to change your fluids ever again. Just keep on topping them off.

                thats how I see it as well.

                Check your oil pan gasket, rear main seal, cam seal. etc etc.
